268. Chapter 268: Honest Confession

When Shi Lin came to her house.

Qiao Sheng said nothing and threw a punch straight at him.

Shi Lin intercepted her hand and said, "Qiao Sheng, what's wrong with you? What did I do to upset you? Or did someone else make you angry today?"

"What did you do? Don't you know it yourself?!"

Qiao Sheng glared at him.

Shi Lin released her hand and demanded, "What did I do, I! Qiao Sheng, explain yourself clearly!"

Qiao Sheng related what Shi Qi had told her.

Shi Lin said irritably, "You're listening to his nonsense; he only knows half the story. I do have — no, I don't have a fiancée. My mother wanted someone to be my fiancée, but I don't like it, so they all left."

"Really, you're not lying to me?"

Qiao Sheng stared at Shi Lin and asked.

Shi Lin raised his hand and swore, "Everything I, Shi Lin, say is true. If I lie to Qiao Sheng, may I be struck by lightning..."

Qiao Sheng pulled his hand down.

"All right, all right, stop swearing. I believe you. Sorry just now, I was too impulsive—I hit you without asking for clarification."

Shi Lin said with a smile, "It's fine, I'm actually happy that you hit me—it shows you care about me."

This guy.

Qiao Sheng suddenly thought of something and asked, "Does your mother know you like me? Can she agree? Besides you being younger than me, your family is also better off than mine..."

Shi Lin leaned in and whispered.

Only then did Qiao Sheng learn that Shi Lin's mother had already come to her restaurant and even eaten there.

"It was that old lady that day..."

Shi Lin took Qiao Sheng's hand and said, "My Shengsheng is smart—you figured it out right away. I originally wanted to surprise you later, but since you're so angry today, I can only come clean."

Qiao Sheng punched him in the chest.

She hit him lightly, like a tickle.

Shi Lin grabbed her hand and placed it over his heart, saying, "Don't be angry; I also don't want to hide it from you, but my mother won't let me tell you, nor let me go with you."

Without letting Qiao Sheng say anything,

Shi Lin continued, "My mother is quite pleased with you, but she's dissatisfied with me. Upon learning that I still haven't won you over, she keeps saying I'm useless. I really wonder if I'm even her biological son..."

His words made Qiao Sheng laugh.

Qiao Sheng laughed and said, "Your mother is quite interesting."

"As long as you're not angry with her, it's fine."

Shi Lin pulled Qiao Sheng into his embrace and said.

His mother's actions really left him speechless.

Qiao Sheng said calmly, "Your mother also doesn't know you have someone you like; if she knew, she definitely wouldn't have done this. Since that's the case, why should I be angry?"

"My Shengsheng is really great."

Shi Lin began praising Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng pulled away from Shi Lin's embrace and said, "Cut it out. Come clean—what's the name of the person you like, and what kind of woman is she?"

"Okay, okay, I'll say. Her name is Feng An Nuan; we're childhood sweethearts, we grew up together. When we were young and didn't know better, we often played together, but I truly don't like her—I only see her as a sister."

Shi Lin paused here and then continued, "Qiao Sheng, everything I said is true; believe me, I really don't like her. If I did, why would I have gone all these years without getting engaged to her?"

"You don't believe me after I said that? Go on."

Qiao Sheng walked over to the side, sat down, and said.

Shi Lin followed her over.

"Feng An Nuan is a very gentle woman, but she's not the type I like; I like someone like you."

"Feng An Nuan's grandfather is the current Prime Minister; my mother thinks we're a good match, and since we grew up together and she likes me, she staged all this."
